About MeSited in the Winter Garden, Duthie Park, this panel in high relief, was designed by Sydney Boyes and cast in Burton on Trent. Originally it was set into the cast iron parapet or balustrade, formerly on the south side of Union Bridge. The figures represent:- trade, finance, fishing, shipbuilding, engineering and agriculture. Presently the panel has been separated from the balustrade which is also sited in the Winter Gardens of Duthie Park. This side of the parapet was removed when shops were built in 1962.
